Any Electricians: Replacing Halogen puck lights with LED

I am looking at replacing 50 halogen lights with LED. I installed the halogen pucks 10 yrs ago. The transformers are buried under the ceilings, thus hard to access. They are in my kitchen/mancave/mud room/ cellar...bout everywhere.

The halogens are bright, rheostat workable, expensive to replace ($5/bulb), not energy efficient and don't have a long life vs the LED.

I need to replace 25 bulbs. I am looking at:



LE LED Under Cabinet Lighting Kit, 510lm Puck Lights, Under Counter Lighting, 3000K Warm White, All Accessories Included, Kitchen Lighting, Closet Light, Set of 3

My question is that since all the halogen transformers are buried, can I buy the LED puck and connect them into the wires from the halogen light wires?

The halogen transformers are 120v. Most have 6 x 20 watt bulbs (T-3). Some are 3 x 40 watt.

Can I just replace the light fixtures? Does the halogen light wire connector match the LED wire connector have the same plug in to use the same buried transformer? If the connections don't match, can I direct wire..cut the connectors off and use wire nuts. I live in the country and no codes, but want to be safe.

If I have to replace the transformers, that will royally suck. I will have to tear out a bunch of ceilings to access them

Advice?

The Chiefs Planet will come through AGAIN.
